Sarra....

 

first fell in love with movement as a dancer in Calgary, Canada. She continued her dance and theater studies in California, where she attended Scripps College and graduated with a degree in French Literature and Philosophy. In San Francisco she studied acting at the American Conservatory Theater, and worked as an editor for one of the first internet search engines, "Ask Jeeves". She discovered yoga while taking midday classes, which became a much needed respite from office life.

 

Sarra headed south to Los Angeles where she started working and practicing at YogaWorks in Santa Monica. She completed her teacher training at YogaWorks with Maty Ezraty and Lisa Walford, and apprenticed with Annie Carpenter. She became certified in pilates two years later and spearheaded Yoga and Pilates Wellness programs in Santa Monica hotels and worked as a consultant to open and develop numerous private yoga studios in the Los Angeles area.

 

Sarra currently teaches classes and workshops for Equinox Fitness Clubs in New York, is a Group Fitness Manager and the Yoga Coordinator for the NYC region. She has appeared on segments for New York 1, Good Day New York, and is currently a spokesperson for Zobha. Sarra is inspired by her students and teachers daily, and is thrilled to have a job that inspires purpose and passion in others.

 

Jessa ....

 

moved to New York in June 2010 from Tallahassee Florida where she was a full time yoga instructor. She taught yoga at studios, gyms, private businesses and to the FSU football team. Jessa believes that yoga is a powerful vehicle capable of drastically improving the quality of both physical and mental health. After surviving severe injuries in a mo-pod accident in 2006, she holds even tighter to her belief in the power of yoga, her desire to be happy and to bring that happiness to others. 

 

Having completed her undergrad in 2009 at Florida State University in Religion and Psychology she moved to New York City to pursue her passion for yoga and fitness. She is currently a personal trainer at Equionx, a bartender at RF Lounge, and works for Maggie C's parties. She also finds joy blogging on her own barbiemeets.buddha.blogspot.com and on velvetpark.media.com. Since moving to this wonderful city she loves exploring everything here and feels privileged to so often be in the presence of extraordinary women.
